RPL supported Maven Capital Partners on its £2.6m investment in Esk, a tech-enabled producer of immersive live experiences based on premium licensed IP. Founded in 2022, Esk licenses IP from major rights holders, producing and commercialising shows – including Top Gun: Maverick in Concert and The Making of Our Planet Live – for leading venues and promoters across the globe. 

​

RPL assisted Maven Capital Partners with buy-side commercial due diligence, delivering a segmentation and sizing of the addressable and serviceable markets and an evaluation of the competitive landscape. Our work substantiated the investment thesis and informed post acquisition planning through clear commercial insight – including an analysis of the IP-based live show value chain and multi-channel monetisation opportunities – underpinned by a comprehensive customer referencing programme that validated Esk’s attractive market positioning.
